My 22nd year in review

So, last year just before my birthday I did a big recap of everything that had happened in the past year- good and bad. And I found it really great to be able to just look back and reflect and see a year of my life on paper (figuratively speaking).

I decided it would be good to do the same thing for this year, I've just structured it a little differently than last year. Here goes:

Shows/Musicals/Concerts: 

•  Annie
• Legally Blonde (8 times)
• Beauty and the Beast (Amateur production in Sutherland). 
• Carrie Underwood "Blown Away Tour" at the Sydney Opera House
• Delta Goodrem "The Top of my World Shows" (well, half of it, but it counts).
• Hats Off to the Classics
• Adam Hills "Happyism"

Trips:

• Melbourne (x2)
• Adelaide (x2- I think. Maybe 3 times). 
• Sydney (that counts! It involves travel and I stayed overnight, so it counts).
• Canberra 
• Queensland

Celebrities I Met (That I hadn't met before):

• Rob Mills
• Erika Heynatz
• Cameron Daddo
• Helen Dallimore
• Anthony Warlow
• Mike Snell
• Idina Menzel (well, it was a tweet. But it's really hard to get a tweet off her, so I want to count it).

Fanfics Published:

• Stranger to Myself (Wicked)
• If I let you go (Wicked)
• Sitting on top of the World (NCIS)
• But for a Moment (Wicked)
• 40 Weeks (Wicked)
• Understanding (Anne of Green Gables)

Experiences Had (AKA Cool things I did or that happened to me):

• Hollywood Costume Exhibition
• Unemployed for 4 months (Hey, I didn't say these were all good experiences. But the bad ones shape us as much as the good ones).
• Moved twice.
• Made more friends via FF.net/Twitter
• Got my 2nd teaching job.
• Went to a taping of The Voice.
• Was on Hamish and Andy's Business Brunch on the radio.
• Got to meet more members of my Twitter family.
• Touched a dolphin and held a koala.
• Got and lost a duckling (RIP Fiyero the Duck)
• Jodi Picoult read my blog 
• Wicked ended *sob* (I know, I know, it's coming back. But it still ended and it was sad).
• I had a normal, sane, non-crying conversation with Jemma Rix (this was definitely an experience).

Overall, I think it was a pretty great year. And I'm hoping my 23rd year is going to be even more amazing!
